Preparing for future migration

In recent years, international migration has grown in scope and complexity. The number of international migrants, defined as persons living outside of their country of birth, rose by nearly 5 per cent, from 221 million in 2010 to 232 million in 2013. Asia and Europe added the largest number of international migrants during this period, around 3 million each, significantly more than all other major areas. The next 15 years could see upwards of 30 million international migrants added worldwide, if current trends continue.
